Default Ya'll Decide

Well it's time to make another bow

So I am going to leave it up to you guy's

It will be a RD with Leopardwood on the front of the limbs and the riser will be Bolivian Rosewood.

So here are your choices for the back of the limbs.

Purpleheart.
Yellowheart.
Redwood Massaranduba.
Canarywood.
Shedura.
Makore.
Curly Maple.

I will be making all my own lams this time around matter of fact I already have the Leopardwood lams ready to rock n roll

All I have to order in will be the clear glass and Action Bamboo.

I will be ready to order the glass and Boo next week so it should be here by the end of the month, so the wood from above that has the most votes by then will be what I use on the back of the limbs

Hard to go wrong with maple, but I don't feel right telling you what I think would be right, especially sense I don't even know what Leopardwood looks like. I'll do a search and see if I can find a picture.

I dont see Bocote listed above.

Could that be because I don't have any bloody Bocote [8D]

I guess you 2 guys can chip in and buy me some Bocote so I can add it to the list

One of my favorite combos for a glass lam is Bocot, Jabota, and bamboo. Or Jabota, wenge, and bamboo.


But with the woods you have to choose from, I go with Rowell, the plywood would look great.
